Proposals & Tools

The table below contains links to software and support files tar files as well as
documentation which allow to simulate events and spectra for the Resolve spectrometer
on XARM . The same files
can be downloaded directly from the XARM FTP.

The software is part of HEASoft 6.22 and this tar file contains only software routines to simulate events as well as spectra, using XSPEC.
The content includes : heasim
to simulate an event file skyback to simulate
Sky X-ray Background sxsbranch
to calculate the spectrometer branching ratio XSPEC for spectra simulation and
XSELECT to extract spectra from event file.

This tar file contains the scripts, command files, and support files to execute the examples described in the user guide.
Note it is not necessary to install or run the software with simulations that do not use the examples in the user guide.

The User Guide contains the descriptions of the software tasks (heasim, skyback, sxsbranch ), of the support files and responses
necessary to run the simulations as well as step-by-step examples on how to run the software for specific simulations.
